Good afternoon Heather. Should give you the opportunity to train the new teacher as well. When will you be hatching them?

In the spring, I will time it so they hatch about 3 weeks before school is out, so they can keep them in the classroom a few weeks.

What an awesome opportunity!

It is so fun for me to watch the kids as they watch them hatch for the first time!

good luck with the new teacher

Hopefully it will go fine... I don't know her, but one of her kids is in my daughter's class this year so will give me a chance to get to know her better anyway

Have the daughter come over for play dates. Give her the hatching bug, and train her. She will train her mother, and ...

Sounds like a fun opportunity for the kids. I know both my monkeys love watching the chicks hatch.

They are very healthy looking Dale!  what breed are they!!!

The mother is narragessett but she thinks she is a chicken so she runs with the chickens all day and then roosts in the same branch of the same tree facing the same way every night right above the coop with her head facing toward the coop. Then in the morning she gets down waiting at them pen door for me to let her in with the chickens. And I never seen the tom before so I don't know what the three in the pic are mixed with. My neighbor thinks they are maybe mixed with wild turkeys but idk.

I candled the ducks and it looks like at least 7 are good! I'll look at them better tonight when it is dark.

Only one of my silkie chicks is a silkie. But I love this one!

she is cute!

Morning (almost afternoon here!) everyone!

I have been so busy at work, and stewing over something I have no control over. I guess it has made me more productive to be angry. LOL.

I had lunch with my daughter at her school yesterday and the 2nd grade teacher came over and asked me (not so quietly) if I am willing to hatch chicks for the 2nd grade class again this year. (I have done it the last couple years, even though my daughter is not in the class.) Of course, I had to say yes, on the spot, in front of all those eager little faces.

My only problem is this is a NEW teacher and she has no experience, I had the other teacher trained pretty good on what to do when I wasn't available to check on them, etc.

Anyway, will be exciting! Won't be until the spring, but now it's on my calendar to look forward to. AND, it will give me a chance to hatch some of my own eggs again since my roosters will be mature by then for sure.

Thanks for the teacher link, I used some of that last spring when I hatched with the kids.

So I get this text from Dad this morning....


Look what I just found!!!


I text him back and said "Great, that means they are certainly ready for processing! I am picking them up early AM so please dont feed them in the morning. I will bring a crate."
